Heisman launches fan voting platform for this season
A new Heisman website will let college football fans help open the award conversation by casting the first vote this season.
The Heisman Trophy has introduced a new online platform that will let fans take part in the award process this season, with the first vote coming from the public. The project, called Heisman Hopefuls, is meant to broaden discussion around college football’s top individual prize.
According to ESPN, the platform combines data, storytelling and fan voting in one place. The new team running Heisman said the site is designed to give supporters a larger role in following the race.
Yahoo Sports reported that fans will cast the opening vote under the new system this season. The move adds a public-facing layer to a process that has traditionally been driven by voters selected by the Heisman Trophy trust.
The Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football, and the new platform arrives ahead of the upcoming season.
